End of the line, sister.

Your garden party is over.

I need you, Melissa.

I'm here.

Have you ever been here before?

Of course not.

Then Jacqueline has gone to an awful lot
of trouble to make it look like you

have. She was an evil, deranged woman.

I, Jacqueline Perrault, hereby give and
bequeath to my daughter -in -law, Maggie

Joberti, for whom I care deeply, for my
two sons, Chase Joberti and Richard

Channing, and finally, to Angela
Channing, I give and bequeath...

Well.

End of the line, sister.

The garden party's over.

It requires you forfeit all your
personal belongings, and we return to

your release.

I don't have any.

Come on.

Hand it over, everything.

I don't have anything. You see, I've
been in jail, and I... Shut up.

You don't talk until we talk to you
first.

Give me your earrings, rings,
everything.

In here, you do things our way.

Got it?

Let's have the locket.

Oh, no, please.

This locket is very precious. Please.

In there.

Oh, look at that. That's what I call
getting away.

Uh -oh, here comes the big fish.

I was thinking about my father.

He was always talking about wanting to
travel and world cruises and... Oh, come

on. We can't even get Charles to come
out here for a visit.

I know.

Just wish he'd do something nice for
himself.

Terry and I got everything we ever asked
for. All we had to do was say, hey,

Dad, we'd like that, and he delivered.

Terry's still asking.

Your dad's still giving. Oh, come on.
You do the same thing for Cole and

Tell you what. Let's surprise him and
send him a check for that cruise.

Oh, that'd be wonderful.

Well... A little extravagant, though,
don't you think?

You only have one father?

Oh, I love him.

Oh, what a nice thing to do.

Janning, Addison Worth.

We met at a fundraiser at Falcon Crest
last fall.

Oh, yes. How are you, Edison? I'm fine,
thank you. Please, sit down. Thank you.

And how's the governor?

He's fine.

But unfortunately, he was called away to
Washington.

He was?

Yes, the exigencies of public office,
I'm afraid.

But perhaps I can help.

Well, you know that my daughter is in
the state penitentiary.

Yes, I'm sorry to hear that. She doesn't
belong there.

We were all shocked when she pleaded
guilty to all counts.

Well, she was emotionally disturbed, and
she still is.

But didn't the court -appointed
psychiatrist find her competent?

He's no more competent than she is.

Now, she needs help, and she's not going
to get it in prison.

But at this point, I'm not sure there's
anything we can do.

The governor could commute her sentence.

That's not very likely, considering the
governor was elected on a strong law

-and -order platform.

With my financial support.

Yes, that's true.

But the governor was also supported by
millions of other people who expect him

to uphold the legal system.

The governor can't be influenced by
campaign contributions.

I'm terribly sorry.

But Julia isn't strong, and prison could
kill her.

Isn't there something that you can do to
help her?

Politically speaking and practically
speaking, I'm afraid not, Mrs. Channing.

I'm telling you, this is a writer's
dream.

You mean I am actually free to explore
any area I want?

Yes, anything at all. There's got to be
a catch here. Why would Richard give me

that much freedom? I just, I don't know.

Richard understands the hard business
side of things. I have a feel for the

of the product. Besides, I have him
wrapped around my little finger. Well,

good to have friends in high places.
It's essential.

Hi, I was just...

telling Maggie what she was going to be
doing here. I heard.

Welcome to the New Globe.

Thank you.

Well, you certainly made this assignment
very appealing.

I'm leaving everything in Emma's hands.

But what you write is up to you.

I'll read it in the early edition.

Well, thank you. I mean, both of you,
this is just a terrific opportunity, and

I'm not going to let you down.

I know you won't.

I'll let you two get back to work.

Oh, uh, tomorrow I want you to meet
Ralph Delaney. He's one of our best

editors.

Oh, good job, Arthur.

Hey, I see you play tennis the way you
practice medicine, huh? So when? In our

business, second place is dead.

No margin for error.

Particularly with patients, right,
Arthur?

Oh, come on now, Michael. You're not
going to start that business with Lantry

again, are you?

He said you were going to look into it.
What did you find?

At worst, Lantry is guilty of
inattention to the Giberti case.

Why are you covering for him?

I need Lantry.

He's talented. Look, why don't you just
do your job as a diagnostic consultant?

And stop making more out of this than it
really is, okay?

I'll do what I have to do, all right?

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for coming with me. I know you're
going to love it.

I'd go anywhere with you.

You're so different the minute you leave
Falcon Crest.

Getting away helps.

We need to do it more often.

We need to do a lot of things more
often.

Like figure out where our relationship
is going, for starters.

Our relationship is fine.

Following a very straight and narrow
path.

Very long path, I hope.

You can see that far ahead, huh?

All I know is I want to make that trip
with you.

Not so much for both of us.

And for Joseph.

Son doesn't even know me.

Someday he will.

A long way out.

Too long to wait.

Who should have made a deal for my
grapes a long time ago?

Oh, the lady can't put business aside
for even a moment.

You don't.

Why should I?

Why don't we talk business in the
morning?

Are you buying or not?

I don't know. It all depends.

Is it my original offer?

Mm -hmm.

Double the market value.

You can take the entire Grady Harvest
away from Angela Chan.

My, my, my. Where are your ethics, young
lady?

In cold storage, keeping yours company.

Now, is that any way to talk to the
father of your next child?

Hmm?

Pleasure. Pleasant dreams, Duchess.

What are you doing with my locket?

Oh, it's mine now.

My property is protected by law while
I'm in here. I'm the law around here.

Will you just wait until my lawyer finds
out about this?

You may find yourself behind bars.

Hello?

Speaking.

Oh, yeah, yeah. How are you? What's
happening?

Well, it's about time.

Yeah, I think that'll be fine.

Look, if it's all the same to you, I'd
rather do it here at the house.

Most of the concerned parties are here
in the valley, not in San Francisco.

Okay.

Thanks. See you then.

Mother's will is going to be read
tomorrow.

Here.

I think I better go tell Michael.

the way to see you.

Osborne called. Yeah, he called me, too.
Finally got off the stick. Yeah.

I talked to Hooks yesterday.

All he'll admit is that Lantry was,
quote, careless, unquote.

It's easy for him to say. He wasn't on
the receiving end. He's no longer just a

doctor, you know. He's now a member of
the establishment. He represents the

hospital. He wants to protect their
reputation.

We're gonna have to do the digging if we
expect to find out what's at the bottom

of this.

You still suspect Angela, huh?

Lantry's signature on that declaration
of incompetence was no coincidence.

Angela stood to gain too much.

Just don't bet the farm before you're
absolutely sure, cuz.

I'm sure already.

Before I'm finished, everybody else will
be, too.

Good, huh?

Fresh pecan rose.

Your favorite.

I'd better not.

Thank you. Thank you very much. That's
very interesting.

Goodbye. That was Osborne.

They're reading Jacqueline's will
tomorrow.

I want both of you with me.

I wonder why you were named in that
will.

At least we'll get to find out what she
left you.

Whatever it is, it won't be a cause of
celebration.

Maybe not.

But I bet Chase will probably be
breaking open the champagne.

It'll take more than money for Chase to
get the upper hand around here.

Mmm, smell of freshly baked bread.

You never get tired of it.

Well, I'm afraid you're going to have to
do without it for a while.

What's this?

An airline ticket to Philadelphia.

Your Aunt Louisa's sick. I thought it
would be nice if you paid her a visit.

Nice try, Papa.

But I talked to Aunt Louisa yesterday
and she's fine.

You just want me out of town, away from
Cole.

I know what I'm doing, Linda.

So do I.

And I'm staying right here.

You'll do what I tell you.

Like you used to before you hooked up
with that Gioberti boy.

No, Papa.

I'm sorry.

Maybe I ought to come back later.

Maybe you better not come back at all.

Papa, please, would you just listen to
me? There's nothing more to talk about.

Papa, I'm not going to let you run my
life anymore.

Linda?

You're going to love Ralph Delaney. My
father hired him right out of journalism

school. He's worked here for years.

Ralph.

I want to introduce you to Maggie
Gioberti.

Maggie's going to be doing features for
us.

That so?

I told her if she wanted to learn the
newspaper business, she couldn't find a

better teacher than you.

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Delaney.

Green pea, huh?

I beg your pardon?

It's what I call newcomers. Green peas.

Oh!

Well, not exactly green. I've done a lot
of articles and I wrote a screenplay.

Get it produced?

Yes. As a matter of fact, I did.

Well, I think that I ought to leave you
two alone to get to work.

Now, you be nice.

Good luck, Maggie.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

I'll say there is. The whole damn
system.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

It took me 30 years to break out of the
sports department into feature writing.

Now you walk in here with no experience,
I'm supposed to drop everything and

train you.

Mr. Delaney, I...

Truly appreciate how you feel. My
connections got me in here, but if I

it, then I'm out.

Know how to research a story?

Yes, I do.

We've been thinking about doing a piece
on Bayside Down.

That's a racetrack.

I know.

Good. And you can get yourself out there
and find an angle. No hard news, just

human interest.

Good. Thanks for the tip. Just don't
come back with a story about how jockeys

like tall women.

I wouldn't think of it.

Mr. Channing, Delaney here. I just
talked to Maggie Gilberti. Did you put

work on the racetrack story?

Yes, sir, I did, but I'm not sure why
we're doing that story in the first

Keep me posted.

Good morning.

My name is John Osborne. I'm Jacqueline
Perrault's attorney.

And I assume you're all eager for me to
begin, so I'll get right to it.

I, Jacqueline Perrault, being of sound
and disposing mind and memory, and not

acting under duress, menace, fraud, or
undue influence of any person

do make, publish, and declare this is my
last will and testament, and do hereby

expressly revoke...

All former wills and codicils to wills
made by me.

I hereby direct my executor, Michael
Ranson, to carry out all my directions

soon as is legally possible.

Above all, I would like to leave both my
sons, Chase Gioberti and Richard

Channing, with the knowledge that I love
them both.

I may not have shown that love in equal
amounts, but they were always the most

important persons in my life.

To my grandchildren, Cole and Victoria
Gioberti, whom I love dearly.

I hereby give and bequeath the sum of
one million dollars each.

To my daughter -in -law, Maggie Joberti,
for whom I care deeply, I hereby give

and bequeath all my jewels and furs in
hope that she will derive as much

pleasure from them as I did.

To my great -grandson, Joseph Compton, I
hereby give and bequeath the sum of one

million dollars to be held in trust
until his 21st birthday and to be

by him only on the condition that he
leave Falcon Crest And acknowledge Cole

Gilberty as his true father.

The audacity of that woman.

Joseph Compson is my great -grandson. He
belongs to me.

It's outrageous.

Don't worry, Angela.

No one is ever going to take Joseph away
from me.

Or Falcon Crest.

As long as there's a breath left in my
body.

May we continue, please?

To my nephew, Michael Ranson, I give and
bequeath the McKay Vineyards in the

Tuscany Valley.

This property was purchased by my son,
Richard Channing, with my corporation,

Whitewood Industries Funds, which held
the deed.

It is my express desire that the
property be vacated by Richard Channing

made available to Michael Ranson for use
as his personal residence.

Congratulations.

For my two sons, Chase Joberti and
Richard Channing, I give and bequeath a

of $5 million each.

I further direct that $50 million be
equally divided between them at the end

the year on the condition that Chase
Joberti at that time agrees that his

brother Richard Channing has made a
sincere effort to establish a friendship

with him.

I have complete faith that Chase will
make an honest assessment and not be

motivated by the money.

If he decides an honest effort has not
been made by Richard, I direct that this

$50 million be given and bequeathed to
the Sisters of Hope at the Convent of

Martha, Paris, France.

Mother was determined that we'd be
friends even to the point of paying us

our efforts, huh?

I think it'd be nice if we fooled her
and become friends on our own.

The net cash balance of my personal
holdings, currently valued at $250

million... is to remain vested in my
corporate business ventures for the

of those who have made all of this
possible.

And finally, to Angela Channing, I give
and bequeath a room key

to suite 1825 at the Hotel Tate in San
Francisco.

This suite has been locked, sealed, and
untouched since my last visit there.

I direct my executor, Michael Ranson, to
hand the key to Angela Channing at the

reading of this will.

Mr. Ranson, you have the key I gave you?

Yes. Would you give it to Mrs. Channing,
please?

Thank you.

Furthermore, I direct that Philip
Erickson, Mrs. Channing's attorney, be

when she unlocks the suite.

You don't really plan to go to the Tate
Hotel, do you? I most certainly do.

I'm surprised you didn't go, but they're
right after the meeting.

Well, I'm going to visit Julia today.

And besides, I never took orders from
Jacqueline when she was alive, and I

certainly won't now that she's dead.

What do you stand to gain?

Jacqueline must have had some sort of
revenge in mind.

No doubt.

Then you're only playing into her hands.

Well, whatever it is, Grandma can handle
it.

So pick me up at eight.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in that
room.

Yeah, wouldn't that be fun?

I was surprised by Jacqueline's
generosity to me, but I sure don't like

of taking away Richard's house.

Obviously she wanted you to have it,
Michael.

You're very generous in all of it.

A million dollars doesn't seem important
when I can't have custody of my son. I

know Mother thought she was being
helpful by naming Joseph in the will.

It may have just made things worse.

I just want Joseph out of Falcon Crest
before he becomes one of them.

It's betrayal, that's what it is. My
mother gave with one hand and took away

with the other.

Five million now, 25 million later. I
really don't think you have anything to

complain about.

Yes, you took away these vineyards in
the process, my foothold and about.

You're a rich man. Footholds can be
bought and enemies sold out with the

money you have. You don't understand,
Melissa.

Same old thing. My mother chose Chase
over me. Only if he agrees do I get the

million. Cain fooled Abel, didn't he?

She did leave me with a rather
fascinating challenge, didn't she?

Convincing Chase I love him, like a
brother, might even be fun.

My father was so possessive.

Being a man more than twice, he takes an
immediate disliking to him.

I've taken your stand.

I don't have to come around.

He really is a wonderful father.

He's just got so many old -fashioned
values.

Like protecting his innocent little
daughter from evil,

unscrupulous men like me.

Marry me, Linda.

I love you.

I want you to be my wife.

Oh, I love you.

Nothing's standing in our way.

My family isn't like yours. And all Papa
has, it would kill him.

We'll tell them afterwards.

In fact, we don't have to tell anyone
when we're low.

Tonight. Tonight?

I don't know.

I just want everyone to be happy, Papa.
You.

What would make you happy?

Why did you come?

Because I'm your mother.

And I love you.

Get me out of here.

You pleaded guilty.

I wanted to die.

Not live like this.

These things take time.

Don't tell me the great Angela Channing
has lost her powers.

I've been in touch with the governor and
I'm pushing for an early parole.

The governor is not going to give me a
parole, Mother.

I killed two people.

Julia, you have been under a great deal
of strain.

And you're just adding to the pressure.

I think the best thing for you to do is
just forget that I'm alive.

You're still my daughter.

That is something I will never forget.

Why are you so unedged?

I'm trying to protect you from
unnecessary pain.

Well, that's very thoughtful of you,
Philip.

It was a waste of time. There's nothing
here.

There must be something.

What is she trying to tell me?

Maybe she changed her mind after drawing
up her will.

No, that doesn't sound like Jacqueline.

She was a master of suspense.

Jacqueline left me a note.

Dear Angela... Really?

Thank you for taking the trouble to come
and collect your bequest.

If you are still unsure about what it
is, you need search no further.

My legacy to you, Angela, is a first
-hand look at the spot where... Philip

Erickson and I last made love.

not going to take this seriously, are
you?

The facts speak for themselves.

What facts?

Angela, for crying out loud, this is all
such an obvious ploy. Answer me yes or

no. Have you ever been here before?

Of course not.

Then Jacqueline has gone to an awful lot
of trouble to make it look like you

have. Does that surprise you?

She was an evil, deranged woman.

And I can't believe that you actually
entertained such a ridiculous lie.

Perhaps I'm being a bit hasty. The time
that I spent with Jacqueline was

strictly business.

She was out to destroy you.

I wanted to prevent that.

It was a great consolation to me to know
how far you'd go to protect me.

She wanted everything, Angela.

You, me, Falcon Crest, everything.

Know I know she did that note proves how
ruthless she was

It proves more than that

I know you.

You're my wife.

Right. Give the man a cigar.

Coming in?

Sure. Early morning swims are like
tangos.

They don't count unless you do them with
someone.

I'm sorry I've been away so much at
night lately.

I joined an encounter group in San
Francisco.

What for?

It's for people who have gone through
traumatic emotional experiences.

We meet three nights a week.

Is it helping?

A lot.

I'm learning to forgive your mother.

Maybe that'll bring us closer.

I'd like that.

I could certainly use your support
around here.

Lance, I'm really sorry about your
mother.

A life sentence is the cruelest
punishment of all.

I need you, Melissa.

I'm here.

Meet me halfway?

I'm here.

Boy, I had no idea how extravagant your
mother was.

Cole hasn't been home all night. I found
this on his bed.

Dear Mom and Dad, I'll be back in a
couple of days. Please don't worry.

I'm all right. I just need some time to
think.

We're not supposed to worry anymore,
right?

He just needed some time alone, I guess.

He'll show up soon.

I guess I'm going to have to learn to
just let go.

What am I supposed to do with all of
this stuff?

Wear it.

That's what it's for, isn't it?

Except for some of the more flamboyant
pieces.

Well, I guess I can keep some of the
simpler pieces and put the rest of them

the vault.

With the furs.

Dear darling mother, she never quite got
it, did she?

I mean about us not being interested in
living her lifestyle. All of this.

Whatever she's left behind, it won't
change us.

Not even the $25 million?

Well, it's so nice to know you didn't
marry me for my money. Nope.

Well, I'm a working girl again. I'm
going down to the racetrack.

Hello?

Hi, Mom. Cole.

I'm in Tahoe.

Tahoe? Mom, Linda and I have decided to
get married.

Just like that, without telling us?

That's why I'm calling.

We weren't going to tell anyone, but we
decided we couldn't go through with it

without letting you know.

Cole, what are you talking about? Go
through with what?

Dad?

Linda and I want you and Mom to come to
our wedding tomorrow.

Wedding?

They want us to come to their wedding.

Where? When?

Tahoe. There's a 2 o 'clock flight from
Oakland. I've already booked it for you.

You come right to the Lakeshore Hotel.

We tried calling...

Son, we'll be there.

Send him my love.

Linda sends her love.

And ours to her.

Bye. Bye -bye.

Congratulations.

Oh, Chase.

He's so young.

We were young, too.

Don't worry.

Good morning.

Nice day for a race?

Excuse me.

My name is Maggie Giberti. I'm with the
New Globe and... No races today, lady.

Well, I am doing a feature on
Thoroughbred Racing, and I was wondering

could perhaps have a... I don't have any
stories for you.

Why don't you go to the track gardener?

Write about his flowers.

Ah,

excuse me?

Excuse me. Miss?

Hi, I'm Maggie Giaberti. I'm with the
New Globe, and I'm doing a story on the

track. I just... No, thanks.

What is it with everyone? No one wants
to be interviewed.

You're new, aren't you?

The track is a closed club.

Old members stick together.

The same sports writers have been
covering this beat for years, and

accepted. New faces are outsiders.

Well, what about you?

You're young, you're a woman.

There's my story.

It took me five years to get my first
mount.

Now I'm accepted.

I don't want to blow it.

Oh, this is incredible.

Look, just forget everything I just told
you, okay?

Good luck.

May I help you?

Yeah, we're, uh...

Interested in a diamond ring.

What price range did you have in mind,
sir?

Come on, Cole. I don't really see
anything here I like.

Don't let this place intimidate you.

Can I see that one, please?

See anything else you like?

Cole, these are so expensive.

Actually, these are the least expensive
pieces we have.

Can I do that one, please?

Do you like it?

It's incredibly beautiful.

18 ,000.

Oh, my God.

We'll take it.

You'll take it.

I'm going to give you a number to call
to verify the check.

Then I'd like the ring gift -wrapped
with a ribbon and a smile.

Very well, sir.

You sure it's okay to drop in on Richard
like this unannounced?

No, I'm not. But this is the Tuscany
Valley, not Baltimore. We're a little

informal here.

You mean like, hi, Richard.

Your mother left me your house. Pack
everything and clear out? Pack your

and clear out, please. The irony is he
can keep it as far as I'm concerned.

You can do what you want to do, but
don't feel sorry for the guy. He just

million dropped in his lap.

The door's open.

Anyone home?

Let's see.

Talk about living simply, huh?

This is incredible.

He was here yesterday.

I guess he really took his mother's will
seriously.

Excuse me, is Mr. Channing around?

Heck if I know. We got a call to cut off
the gas, so that's what I did.

Okay, thank you.

Richard really moves fast.

Yeah, and dangerously, I'd say.

Who will give this bride away?

I will.

We are gathered here today to witness
the very special union of Colesia Berti

and Linda Caproni.

Cole and Linda have their own vows.
Cole?

With this ring, I make my everlasting
promise to keep our love as it is today,

as it always has been, and as it always
will be.

A love born of purity.

A love dedicated to the meaning of
marriage and family.

A love that yields honesty and the
spiritual bond that we have today.

This I promise to you forever with love
and

respect.

Linda, may we hear your vows?

When you accept this ring, you accept my
promise to love you, to cherish you,

to always stand beside you as your wife.

I will nurture and sustain our love so
it will be a love that grows

that knows no death, with love and
respect.

These are sentiments we should all live
by.

And now, by virtue of the power vested
in me, I now pronounce you husband and

wife.

Congratulations. Thank you.

That was beautiful.

Thank you. Welcome to the family.

Oh, I'm so

glad you called us.

We wanted you to be here.

Well, it didn't exactly come empty
-handed. It's the least we could do.

You still don't understand the system,
do you?

All outgoing mail is read and, if
necessary, censored.

That's a private letter to my son.

You sure do paint an ugly picture of me.

I don't like it. You have no right to do
that.

I've got all the rights and you've got
nothing.

I've never done anything to you. Why are
you so mean to me?

You've got a short memory, Duchess.

I've known you and that royal family of
yours for a long time.

I'd never seen you before in my life
until I came here. That's because you

noticed me in school.

I was the fat kid in the hand -me -downs
that you and the other rich kids made

fun of.

I don't remember you.

Corrine Powers?

My daddy, Ben, used to work at the
vineyards up at Falcon Crest.

That is, until he had his first heart
attack.

We employed hundreds of people up there.
I mean, you can't possibly expect me to

remember everyone who worked for us.

After he recovered, your mommy didn't
hire him back, so he died broke.

You don't know what it's like to be
poor, but you're going to learn.

Now, you're the one who's wearing the
hand -me -downs.

By the time I get through with you,
you're going to wish you'd gotten the

chamber.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Maggie! Come give your sister a big hug.

She hates me.

I'll take care of Corrine Powers.

You can't fight the system in here. I
don't know how much longer I can

living at Falcon Crest.

Melissa, hold on and the rewards will be
great.

I think I'm going to like it here.
